343. The Fear of Being Seen: Shadows of Visibility and Vulnerability (Shadow Work Series Part 14 of 22)

The Playground - A podcast by Shanila Sattar

Are you terrified of being truly seen for who you are? That’s the shadow of visibility at play. This episode unpacks why showing up authentically can feel like walking into a spotlight you didn’t ask for—how shame, fear of judgment, and past rejection keep us hiding. We’ll explore what it takes to drop the masks, step into your truth, and let yourself be fully seen. In this shadow work series, we’re diving deep into the parts of ourselves we often avoid—the hidden fears, patterns, and wounds shaping our lives from the shadows. Together, we’ll explore the four core wounds—trust, guilt, abandonment, and neglect—and uncover how they affect our relationships, self-worth, and inner peace. This isn’t about fixing or erasing these parts; it’s about understanding, embracing, and integrating them to step into your wholeness. So, grab a journal, an open mind, and maybe a cup of tea—because we’re about to get real, raw, and radically self-aware. Let’s play in the shadows. Join Shadow Work: https://alwaysplay.org/shadow-work
